International Holiday Project<\/strong> – This is probably your child’s first research report. This is a very important skill that they will be using throughout all of their schooling in the rest of elementary, middle, high school and college. It is important that if you are helping them or having someone help them that they are teaching your child how to do it not doing it for them. If they are doing it for them, they will not learn this important process and the child will not be able to read it on Monday when it is presented to the class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Holiday Research parts, dates and grades –<\/strong> We started this back in November. Remember I need a separate copy for the final draft. Don’t make the corrections in the rough draft. I need to see all the parts. I am also including examples of what each should look like, my examples are not 100% complete but they give you a good idea of what to aim for. There is also a rubric of the expectations. Here are the parts again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Presentation <\/strong>– Every student will be presenting their Google Slide presentation next week. It should have all of the words from their final draft and picture, videos or audio clips to take us on a virtual field trip to celebrate this holiday. Please have them practice their presentation at home. You might want to print their final draft or notes to help them remember what to say or how to say it so they can give eye contact to the audience. They will be graded on presentation, eye contact and how well they are able to read it to their audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Next week\u2019s<\/strong> Star of the Week \u2013 Merlin  <\/strong>He will make a poster board (NOT foam board) for Monday, bring a favorite book on Tuesday, bring sharing on Wednesday, and invite a guest to lunch on Thursday.
